Anand Silent on Ottawa’s Stance Regarding India’s Foreign Interference
Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand has remained tight-lipped on Canada’s stance regarding evidence of foreign interference by India. During a recent media availability in Mumbai, Anand faced numerous questions from reporters but did not provide a direct answer.
Canada-India Diplomatic Relations
The timing of Anand’s comments coincides with Prime Minister Mark Carney’s visit to India, aimed at revitalizing the trade and diplomatic ties that have strained over the past two years. In recent reports, Canada has claimed to possess evidence linking Indian government agents to the murder of Canadian Sikh activist.
Evidence of Foreign Interference
- In 2023, Canada stated that it had evidence of India’s involvement in the murder of a Sikh activist.
- In 2024, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) indicated a broader campaign of intimidation and violence.
Ahead of Carney’s visit, a government official clarified that this trip would not occur if there were ongoing concerns about Indian government involvement in threats or extortion against Canadians.
Anand’s Commitment to Canadian Security
Anand emphasized that “no country has a pass” when it comes to the security of Canadians. She reiterated her commitment to addressing the concerns of the Sikh community with her counterparts in India.
